Stats Don't Lie... Week 5

We’re revisiting the column from week 3 with data for two additional weeks.

Through 5 weeks Divisional Scoring looks as follows: 

Punt	Pass	Kick
1824.02	1653.64	1725.54

Giving each team a rank between 1 and 12 for both “points for” and “points against,” gives us the following ranks:

		Points For
1	Ghetto Gangsta	515.36
2	Makin' It Wayne	494.48
3	I Beat PregnantNDrugged Women	488.32
4	Floaters	481.8
5	The First Wives Club	456.04
6	Rackin it Up	440.82
7	MissNColtsNCOS	426
8	Lehman Brothers	411.54
9	WhenNRome	397.24
10	Maverick	390.46
11	DogPound	375.28
12	Defenestrators	325.86

		Points Against
1	The First Wives Club	471.14
2	DogPound	468.54
3	MissNColtsNCOS	462.28
4	Defenestrators	458.44
5	Rackin it Up	440.36
6	I Beat PregnantNDrugged Women	438.66
7	WhenNRome	430.06
8	Lehman Brothers	428.32
9	Makin' It Wayne	417.34
10	Floaters	414.64
11	Ghetto Gangsta	388.06
12	Maverick	385.36

Averaging the totals should demonstrate who has performed well given their strength of schedule.   See the results below:

	Team	Average
1	The First Wives Club	3
2	I Beat PregnantNDrugged Women	4.5
3	MissNColtsNCOS	5
4	Makin' It Wayne	5.5
5	Rackin it Up	5.5
6	Ghetto Gangsta	6
7	DogPound	6.5
8	Floaters	7
9	Lehman Brothers	8
10	WhenNRome	8
11	Defenestrators	8
12	Maverick	11

Comparing this to the previous ranks, there has been some movement amongst the teams:

+4	The First Wives Club
0	I Beat PregnantNDrugged Women
+6	MissNColtsNCOS
-3	Makin' It Wayne
+5	Rackin it Up
-2	Ghetto Gangsta
+4	DogPound
-1	Floaters
-1	Lehman Brothers
-4	WhenNRome
-8	Defenestrators
0	Maverick

So, how is “The First Wives Club” at the top of the list and 1-4 on the season?  This is because they have played difficult games and scored a lot of points.  For the same reason, Defenestrators has fallen 8 spots.  That’s what happens when you score less than 70 points combined in the last 2 weeks.  At the end of 13 weeks, if you find yourself out of the playoffs, but in the top 8 of this list.  You got screwed by the schedule.  We know this, because Stats Don’t Lie…
